DAVIS, Calif. – UC Davis head football coach
Dan Hawkins announced the hiring of Quinn Shanbour to coach the Aggies quarterbacks. Shanbour comes to Davis from the University of North Texas.
"Quinn comes highly recommended by people we trust," Coach Hawkins said. "He has been a part of one of the most explosive offenses in the country and has quarterback experience. Quinn and his family will melt into and add to our amazing culture in UC Davis!"
Shanbour joined the UNT coaching staff in 2019 and most recently was an analyst that worked with the Mean Green quarterbacks.
This past season UNT quarterback Austin Aune set a new UNT record with 33 touchdown passes and led the nation averaging 15.29 yards per completion.
He served as a graduate assistant from 2020-21, spending time with both the quarterbacks and tight ends. In 2020, Shanbour helped mentor the UNT quarterbacks. Under his guidance UNT finished 25th nationally in passing offense with 283.0 ypg.
A native of Oklahoma City, Okla., Shanbour appeared in 28 games in his time as a UNT student-athlete, and served on the team's leadership council in 2017 and 2018. He walked on at Oklahoma State before transferring to North Texas in 2013.
Shanbour has four degrees from UNT including three master's degrees (2015, 2017, 2019, 2021). He and his wife, Alexis, have two children, Charlotte and Maverick.
